Respuesta :
the first step would be to divide both sides by 2...because u want to get the absolute value on one side, and everything else on the other side
2 | x + 5 | = 16...divide both sides by 2
| x + 5 | = 16/2
| x + 5 | = 8
u would then solve x + 5 = 8 and x + 5 = -8 for ur answers
2 | x + 5 | = 16...divide both sides by 2
| x + 5 | = 16/2
| x + 5 | = 8
u would then solve x + 5 = 8 and x + 5 = -8 for ur answers
2|x + 5| = 16
|x + 5| = 16 ÷ 2
|x + 5| = 8
x + 5 = 8 (a)
x = 3
-(x + 5) = 8 (b)
-x - 5 = 8
-x = 13
x = -13
x = 3, -13
|x + 5| = 16 ÷ 2
|x + 5| = 8
x + 5 = 8 (a)
x = 3
-(x + 5) = 8 (b)
-x - 5 = 8
-x = 13
x = -13
x = 3, -13
